Git-based deployment on IIS

GitDeployHub for IIS

Simple web app that can listen for web requests (like github webhooks) and trigger git deployments using a git fetch and git checkout. You can deploy from any git "treeish" (branch, tag or commit hash).

Requirements

• IIS 6+
• git CLI on system PATH (eg. git for windows)

Installation

1. git clone this repository:

cd D:\Inetpub\wwwroot
git clone git://github.com/benjamine/gitdeployhub.git

2. publish on IIS (eg. HomeDirectory= D:\Inetpub\wwwroot\gitdeployhub\Web\)

• set the site on his own .Net 4.0 Application Pool
• add write permissions on his own folder, and on any other folder you want to deploy websites to. (the app will be running git fetch and checkout on those)

3. open the site homepage for instructions on adding deploy targets (instances).

gitdeployhub's Issues

First run: Server Error in '/' Application.

This is what I get when I run the application.

It's a clean 2012 R2 server with .NET and GIT installed.
Just for the kicks I added Everyone with full control to permissions.

git fetch fails with error 255

I've done the following configuration:

1. created a deployUser
2. granted deployUser full control to local repo folder
3. created customAppPool for gitdeployhub with deployUser as the identity
4. using TortoisePlink and Putty ssh, not openssh on my git install.
5. Created a putty session for bitbucket.org using my custom ssh private key as the auth key.

I can log in to the server as deployUser, and successfully run a git fetch/ git pull from the commandline.

I tried setting environmentVariables="PLINK_PROTOCOL=SSH;GIT_SSH=" in my instance, with no success.

With the level of logging going on in gitdeployhub, I can't see what is causing the error 255 on the git fetch.

Do you have any insight on this?
